Configuring Storage Classes in Azure

If you are using Azure VMs for your nodes, you can use Azure files as a StorageClass for the cluster.

In order to have the Azure platform create the required storage resources, follow these steps:

1. Configure the Azure cloud provider.

2. Configure kubectl to connect to your cluster.

3. Copy the ClusterRole and ClusterRoleBinding manifest for the service account:

   ---
   apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
   kind: ClusterRole
   metadata:
     name: system:azure-cloud-provider
   rules:
   - apiGroups: ['']
     resources: ['secrets']
     verbs:     ['get','create']
   ---
   apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
   kind: ClusterRoleBinding
   metadata:
     name: system:azure-cloud-provider
   roleRef:
     kind: ClusterRole
     apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
     name: system:azure-cloud-provider
   subjects:
   - kind: ServiceAccount
     name: persistent-volume-binder
     namespace: kube-system

4. Create these in your cluster using one of the follow command.

   # kubectl create -f <MANIFEST>
